This morning Good Morning America highlighted the winners of AARP The Magazine’s 2008 Faces of 50+ Real People Model Search, showing men and women who show that beauty and style don’t expire as you age. Check out the beautiful winners here or in your mailbox in the March/April issue of AARP The Magazine.
How did they get chosen? After combing through over 14,000 applicants from online submissions and entries gathered at the 2nd annual AARP The Magazine Road Show, AARP The Magazine selected eight “faces” and left it up to America to choose the final two “Reader’s Choice” winners. Contestants entered the model search by having their pictures taken at the AARP The Magazine Road Show stops or by submitting their photos. The magazine’s editors then hand-selected eight of the winning models in age groups 50-59, 60-69, and 70+, in addition to 16 Reader’s Choice finalists, which were selected after over 10,000 votes were cast online.
Winners include Thadette Nelson(left), and Carol Defore (right).
